602 Dr. A. Jefferis Turner’s Observations on the 
deflection of the last two or three radial veins: (3) the - 
basal forking of the media in the hind-wing : (4) the presence 
of an inter-median : (5) the fusion of the bases of the media 
and cubitus in the fore-wing (not indeed discernible in my 
example of Anomoses, but evident in Palaeoses), with the 
absence of the posterior arculus. That it cannot be included 
in the Hzpialidae we may infer from (1) the absence of 
the characteristic angular junction of M4 and Cu la: 
(2) the obsolescence of the upper primary fork of the media : 
(3) the absence of the cross-bar between the cubital and 
anal veins (Cua) which appears to be constant in that 
family: (4) the presence of tibial spurs. It comes nearer 
to the Prototheoridae in which Cua is not developed, and 
tibial spurs are present. From Meyrick’s description 
(B., p. 17) and Tillyard’s figure (B., p. 648) of Prototheora 
we may infer a real relationship between the two genera, 
but Anomoses differs (1) in the vein M4 and the basal part 
of Cula being almost in the same line, not angled, a 
character I consider of much importance: (2) in the loss 
of the upper primary branch of the media: (3) in the 
absence of any U-loop at the base of the anal vein of the 
fore-wing. Taken together these characters seem sufficient 
for the separation of a new family, the Anomosetidae. 
Should further material show the absence of mandibles, 
possibly also of maxillary palpi in Anomoses, this con- 
clusion will be strengthened. It is possible, however, that 
intermediate forms may be discovered compelling the 
merging of the two families. We may define the family 
as follows. 
Fam. ANOMOSETIDAE, nov. 
Mandibles absent ?. Maxillary palpi present ?. Labial palpi well- 
developed. Antennae very short, with whorls of bristles. Posterior 
tibiae with two pairs of spurs; middle tibiae with terminal spurs. 
Fore-wings with two internal veins, cell closed, internal vein of cell 
single, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, separate, parallel, discocellulars not angled at 
origin of 3, no areole, 7 and 8 stalked and running to termen, 
9 and 10 long-stalked, 11 not branched, 12 giving off a branch to 
costa, and with a humeral cross-bar near base. Hing-wings similar 
(? internal veins), but internal vein of cell with a basal fork indicated, 
12 not branched and without humeral cross-bar. Wing-coupling 
by a non-deflexed jugum on base of dorsum of fore-wing.
